Cabo learned about setting the color of the text, background, and border of an element.
He was shown a variety of the colors available. We discussed how colors can be chosen by name. He was also shown how color can be set using rbg, hexcode, or hsl.
Cabo was shown side-by-side section of codes and the resultant pages that those lines of codes generate.
He was asked what changes would occur on a page if the certain portions of the code were modified.
Cabo was taught a little about Cascading Style Sheets.

Lesson Comments
David sat in on our class. He helped to give Cabo focus as David genuinely wanted to learn.
Our lesson today did overlap with one of our earlier lessons and this allowed Cabo to show off some of the information that he had learned.
Cabo and I discussed the tags associated with quotes, citations, and comments.
We discussed some of the fine detail differences between the tags and appropriate circumstances in which they should be used.
We discussed how comments are typically used. We also discussed some less obvious strategic uses for them such as removing sections of a site without having to delete the source code. This is a useful way to troubleshoot and test new lines of code.
Cabo was taught what html browsers do when they encounter spaces and skipped lines. He learned several tags to help arrange the layout of a webpage. Those tags included the hr, br, and pre tags.
We also introduced the concept of CSS and looked at some style coding.
Headings are important as they directly impact how not just the readers of a site perceive it but also search engines.
Cabo and I reviewed the content of his prior attributes lesson. We then discussed the headings tags 1 through 6. We discussed the importance of headings.
At the end of class, Cabo was given a brief break from academics as a reward for his diligent work in all three of the class sessions for which I had him.
Cabo and I reviewed information about images and hyperlinks. He was asked to manipulate existing code as part of this review.
Cabo then learned about attributes. We spoke about some of the general rules of attributes for HTML. Cabo was notified that a quiz is quickly approaching concerning attributes, hyperlinks, and images.
